Fish-eye lenses provide an extra wide
field of view, as well as a definitive warping. Many fish-eye lenses can capture light from up to 180° resulting in a unique capture of a location or events.
Some photographers consider the resulting photos to be a gimick, and prefer wide-angle, rectilenar, captures without the extensive
barrel distortion inherent to fish-eye lenses. Nevertheless, judicious use of the
unique perspective can result in
stunning photographs.
